Since her debut, Akiko Yano has continued to perform in a free, genre-defying style. And as one of Japan’s leading shamisen players, Hiromitsu Agatsuma carrys on tradition while crossing genres and borders, continually conveying “tradition and innovation” both domestically and internationally. The music created by their collaboration duo “Yano to Agatsuma” radiates a truly unique worldview. Late last year, NPR, the American public broadcaster, expanded online, and **they appeared on NHK’s “Tiny Desk Concerts JAPAN”**, the Japanese edition of the globally booming music series “Tiny Desk Concerts,” with an overwhelming performance that drew even more attention. Akiko Yano, Hiromitsu Agatsuma, and synthesizer player Hideyuki Fukazawa—in a three-person lineup unlike any other in the world—invite you to savor their “new Japanese music” to the fullest in an intimate club setting.
